A little village in the mountains

Rougemont is an unspoilt traditional village in the valley of the Pays d’Enhaut, built by monks of the Cluniac order in 1080, where people have been farming the land and practising traditional mountain crafts for centuries. Their quality of life is reflected in the superbly built wooden chalets, adorned with flowers, decorated with mottoes, dated and signed just like works of art. The love is in the detail!


The local sports shop welcome


Chalet lounging 


My absolute favourite chalet facade


Bits and pieces at the local brocante


Can't wait till this giant pot gets filled with red geraniums in spring


When old and simple is good


Beauty lies in the detail


A colourful neighbour saying hello


Off for a walk though the woods


Not a cloud in the sky
